Description

'Black Jewel' has sweet, aromatic fruits. This late-bearing summer raspberry produces a high yield, which this plant delivers. The many white flowers attract numerous bees and bumblebees. The raspberry bush is suitable for single planting, as the variety is self-fertile. However, several plants next to each other promise a richer harvest.

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

The raspberry prefers to grow in a wind-protected, semi-shady to sunny spot in the garden. To ensure a good harvest in the first year, the root balls should be planted in the fall, but they can also be planted in the spring. Before planting, loosen the soil and mix in some compost, as raspberries prefer a loose, humus-rich soil. When planting, the buds should be covered with about 5 cm of soil and a distance of 40 - 50 cm should be maintained between the root balls. Water the root balls well immediately after planting. Depending on how tall your variety grows, you can also build a small scaffold to support the raspberries and make them easier to care for and harvest.
